Fort Royal is in Worcester, a City in England. It had a quiet history as a piece of open ground, until 3 September 1651, when as a defensive fort of the Royalists under King Charles II, it was overrun by the Parliamentarians under Oliver Cromwell. The remains of the high earthworks are very evident, in what is now a pleasant public park near the the Commandery Museum. Friends of Fort Royal is a group of neighbours set up to take an interest in the park and its wider area.
